Brighton & Hove Albion vs Everton: Match Prediction
Both clubs have been unimpressive in recent rounds: they often drop points and win infrequently, which has cost them several positions in the table. Nevertheless, the sides still retain decent chances of reaching the European places, and with a favorable run of results could even challenge for a top-four spot. However, the opponents' main problem is poor finishing of scoring chances.
Brighton & Hove Albion have managed to score more than one goal only twice in their last 9 league matches. Everton have recorded similar attacking output in just 7 of their last 9 Premier League games. Also, no more than two goals were scored in Brighton & Hove Albion's last four home Premier League matches and in Everton's last 8 away league games. In addition, a maximum of two goals were scored in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings at the Amex Stadium in the Premier League.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
